Messy! Messy!

After the list of nominees for the 84th Oscars came out, people originally thought that the chaos would eventually come to an end temporarily, but the fact is not, the chaos continues, and it can be seen from the top nine seats for Best Picture alone that there is no absolute powerhouse, only a work of average level. The list of nominees does not end the chaos, but limits the chaos to these works, but it is still unknown who can have the last laugh in these nine works.

However, at least the list of nominees from other departments may give some clues.

The five nominees for Best Director, Michel Hazanavicius for "The Artist", Woody Allen for "Midnight in Paris", Martin Scorsese for "Hugo", Alexander Payne for "Posterity", Terrence Malick for "The Tree of Life", make it to the final five.

First of all, this completely announces the disappointing end of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". Ahead of last year's awards season, David Fincher was working on the highly anticipated project. Many people believe that the "girl with the dragon tattoo" is likely to become an important bargaining chip for David to hit the Oscars again, but the ending is not satisfactory.

Would the current state of this work be different if it weren't for Daniel Craig as the leading actor, but with Ranley Hall and Rooney Mara?

Secondly, the wonderful "help" of the group drama is half a position behind. Before the Golden Globe Awards, in fact, the call for "help" was the highest, even surpassing the "descendants", and there was a faint momentum of leadership, but now it seems that this work with a flattering theme, skillful skills, and excellent performances has not been able to reproduce the miracle of "crashing" after all. After missing out on the Best Director nomination, the momentum of "help" suddenly slowed down.

Again, "The Tree of Life" stands out, this work full of art, philosophical reflection, and self-reflection, which has been neglected because of its high and low quality, and has not received corresponding recognition since its release at the Cannes Film Festival, but now it has become the biggest dark horse. From a purely artistic point of view, perhaps, this is the true destiny of this year's best picture?

Corresponding to this are nominations for Best Film Editing and Best Screenplay.

"Hugo", "Posterity", "Moneyball", "The Tree of Life" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" were nominated for Best Film Editing, which is known as the "Little Best Picture" award, and "Hugo", "The Posterity" and "The Tree of Life" were nominated again after Best Picture and Best Director, and "The Artist" and "Midnight in Paris" began to fall behind.

Especially "Hugo", the neglect of the American Editors Guild caused an exclamation, and the Oscar was finally justified.

On the other hand, the nominations for the Best Original Screenplay, "Midnight in Paris", "A Farewell", "Ultimatum", "Bridesmaids", and "Artist" were shortlisted for the top five, and the Best Adapted Screenplay, "The Descendant", "Hugo", "Moneyball", "The President's Killing", "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" were nominated.

The shortlisting of the two works of "Bridesmaids" and "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" can be called the biggest surprise, especially the former, which went further than the "hangover" of the year, creating a miracle rarely seen in commercial comedy films in recent years.

However, the defeat of "I Fight Cancer" has caused huge controversy, especially among the five nominations for Best Original Screenplay this year, only "Midnight Paris" stands out, and "Fight Cancer" is generally optimistic that it can fight a bloody way in the chaotic battle, but the result is still in vain.

From Best Picture to Best Director, from Best Film Editing to Best Screenplay, "Posterity" and "Hugo" have managed to stand out, the only two works to be nominated for all of them, followed by three works that each missed a core nomination, "The Artist" and "Midnight Paris" for Best Editing, and "The Tree of Life" for Best Screenplay. If there are no accidents, these five works will form the first lineup to hit the Oscars this year!

In the first half of the awards season, the "help" that was highly demanded missed three nominations, including Best Director, Best Editing, and Best Screenplay, suffered a heavy blow, and the momentum suddenly slowed down.

The chaos is still a mess, but the context is finally beginning to become clear, and who will kill these five works depends on the next third phase of the college's public relations.

In addition to the work awards, the four departments of the actor this year are also in the spotlight, and after the chaos is extreme, the influence of the work begins to be weakened, and the bonus effect is limited, so all eyes are focused on the strength of the actors. This also means that the space for the college's public relations has begun to shrink, strength, strength, or strength, everything relies on the absolute strength of the actor to carry out a showdown! Such a grand occasion is really not seen for many years, and in a trance it is back to the era before 1998-

The college's public relations is just an auxiliary, and in the final analysis, the works with outstanding strength can still have the last laugh.

So, who will stand out in this year's bayonet showdown? Compared with other departments, people's expectations for the actor department are rising!

In the actress department, the battle for Best Actress, Meryl Streep of "Iron Lady", Viola Davis of "Help", Michelle Williams of "My Week with Monroe", Glenn Close of "Androgyny", and Rooney Mara of "Girl with Dragon Tattoos", have received nominations!

Among them, Rooney, who is only 26 years old, is undoubtedly the youngest, and after making a name for herself with "social networks" last year, she received her first Oscar nomination this year, and her future is limitless!

Among the other four actors, 32-year-old Michelle is nominated for the third time and for the second year in a row, Glenn is nominated for the sixth Oscar after his first nomination in 1982, Viola is also nominated for the second time after "Child Abuse Suspicion", and Meryl is needless to say, this year is her 15th Oscar nomination.

Just a glance at the list of nominees is enough to excite the intensity.

In this year's awards season, Viola and Meryl's duel is undoubtedly the biggest attraction, at present, Viola temporarily leads by a slight margin, this representative of the academic actor from the stage play, not only has solid basic skills, but also has a strong aura, in 2008 "Child Abuse Suspicion", Viola and Meryl directly face each other, not falling behind, completely divided! This year, thanks to the excellent "help", Viola ushered in the best opportunity to harvest the little golden man.

From a certain point of view, the duel between Viola and Meryl can be seen as a duel between expressionists and methodists, such a gimmick is really much more exciting than the competition for best picture!

The five nominees for Best Supporting Actress are Octavia Spencer for "Help", Jessica Chastain for "Help", Jenny McTeer for "Androgyny", Melissa McCarthy for "Bridesmaids", and Bejenice Bejo for "The Artist".

Comedian Melissa was nominated for "Bridesmaids", which is also the second nomination for the "Bridesmaids" crew in the Oscars after Best Original Screenplay, which can be called the biggest surprise in the nomination stage.

In addition to this, Bejenice did not sign up for the heroine, but came to the supporting actress. The Weinstein brothers, the publishers of "The Artist", made a good calculation, and this year the competition for the heroine was particularly fierce, but the showdown for the supporting actress was relatively simple -

Octavia, the most powerful, is facing a vote distribution crisis of "helping" double mention, and another nominee, Jessica, is also highly praised this year, not only starring in "Help", but also starring in the "Tree of Life", the call is rising, and there is a fierce internal duel between the two; Melissa is nominated and won, and Jenny's performance in "Androgynous" is also overwhelmed by the heroine Glenn.

Thus, Berjenice's chances skyrocketed. If Bergenes can win Best Supporting Actress, then the "artist's" stakes for Best Picture will be even higher.

The situation in the supporting actress department also appeared in the supporting actor department.

Christopher Plummer for "Beginners", Kenneth Branagh for "My Week with Monroe", Jonah Hill for "Moneyball", Nick Knott for "The Warriors", Max von-Sydo (Max-von-Sydo) for "Loud and Very Close", made it to the final five.

Among them, the twenty-nine-year-old Jonah is basically here, he is the same as Melissa, he is a comedian, and the nomination is definitely worth celebrating, and Max is because of the dark horse index of the work, and the combat effectiveness is also average, so the duel will basically be launched among the other three actors.

However, among the three actors, 52-year-old Kenneth has really few opportunities in the best supporting actor department known as the "nursing home", although this is his third Oscar, but he has never received a grain; relatively speaking, Nick, who is nominated for the third Oscar, and Christopher, who is nominated for the second time, will have a fierce battle between these two actors over 60 years old.

The "Warrior", who has been recognized but has never been popular, may become a powerful assistant for Nick to further compete for the award with the accumulation of word of mouth and the rise of attention, and Christopher, who currently has a slight advantage, will face a strong challenge.

Finally, there is the Best Actor department, the competition is even more fierce than the battle for Best Actress, this year in a scuffle, a chaos, ushered in the most competitive and exciting Oscars since 2002!

Back then, Sean Penn of "Different Dad", Russell Crowe of "A Beautiful Mind", Will Smith of "King Ali", Tom Wilkinson of "No/Lun Love", and Denzel Washington of "Training Day" had a fierce battle.

At that time, Sean, who had won the Grand Slam of Best Actor at the three major European film festivals early, had never won an Oscar; Russell, who had just topped the Oscar with "Gladiator" the year before, followed Tom Cruise's "box office first, Oscar later" Will, who won the nomination of the academy for the first time, Tom, a veteran actor in Hollywood for more than a decade, has worked tirelessly to finally usher in the first nomination, and Denzel, the most appealing black actor after Morgan Freeman, won the Oscar nomination for the fifth time and hit the first Best Actor.

Literally: whoever wins is possible, and whoever wins is worth celebrating!

In the end, Denzel relied on racial superiority and teamed up with Halle Berry to both win the Oscars, becoming the first year in history that two black men won the Oscars.

So, what about this year?
